For my trip to Seoul I stayed here for 2 nights. It's right in the middle of the city so there is some noise from traffic and some people outside, but it's not the worst. Staff was very helpful and very polite, breakfast in the morning is good as well, a little bit for everyone. The room size is good, but the shower is realllly small (good water pressure and all, just very small you're practically have 50cm by 50 cm to stand next to the toilet. I would recommend, but you have to keep in mind where you are and what you pay for it.

as i checked some of airport bus info via online blogger, claimed is drop off and pick up at same bus station. For safe, i take a photo and asked one of staff - Chris and show my photo to ask, he said "YES" is this station, every 20mins. As this is my double check it, so i believe will not have any problem. When i check out and go to that bus station to take bus to airport, after 20mins waiting, finally i notice that have a small red sentence mentioned need to walk opposite side to take airport bus to airpot. I understood i have responsibility but when I show off photo to him he say "YES"!!! if he not sure he can reply me not sure instead of say "YES" thank you!
Response from Property: I am writing to sincerely apologize for the confusion and inconvenience caused by the directions I provided for your journey from Myeongdong Station to Incheon Airport.Upon further review, I realized that you took Bus No. 6001, while I was referring to Bus No. 6015. Both buses depart from the Myeongdong area and arrive at Incheon Airport, but they have different boarding locations and routes, which led to the misunderstanding. Bus No. 6001 can be boarded near Exit 8 of Myeongdong Station, while Bus No. 6015 departs from the vicinity of Sejong Hotel near Exit 10 of Myeongdong Station. Although both buses reach Incheon Airport, the differing boarding points may have caused confusion.I take full responsibility for this oversight and assure you that I am committed to providing more accurate information in the future to prevent such issues. Your comfort and satisfaction are of utmost importance to us.Once again, I apologize for any inconvenience caused. If you have any further questions or need assistance, please feel free to contact us at any time. Thank you.

Location is perfect! So close to transportation and meet up spots for those who booked tours. Staff are all welcoming and kind especially the man on the 1st floor by the door. Can’t complain about the room size as the price is just right as the stay comes with free breakfast as well. Would definitely recommend to solo travelers and couples.

It was good to stay for four days. At the heart of Seoul, very easy to reach out the key places to visit. Also, the metro station is located very close to the hostel. The room window was very big and good vei to busy Main Street of the Seoul city. The only thing need to improve is the window cleaning.

The hotel location is excellent. It’s close to many local restaurants and the shopping area. I was able to walk to the Seoul tower and to three of the palaces from the hotel. The breakfast was acceptable. I was a little surprised we were supposed to wash our own dishes, but that was OK. Pictures of my corner room are attached.

The location of the hotel is absolutely top-notch, situated near Mendon Street and close to a good currency exchange service. The view from the room was nice, but the room itself was extremely small. It was very cold inside, likely due to the windows, as it was freezing outside, and we especially felt it at night. Unfortunately, there were cockroaches in some areas, which was quite unpleasant. The toilet occasionally got clogged, but the staff were kind and helpful in fixing it. On a positive note, the breakfasts in the kitchen were quite good.

Room was clean and very near to the train station. Service was good and come with free breakfast. The cons is room are small and the heater didn’t work properly
Response from Property: Thank you for staying at 57 Myeongdong Hostel and for taking time to leave a comment through this website.We are sorry to hear that our services could not satisfy your expectation.Within Myeongdong district, our hostel locates at the highest floor in the building. Therefore, our rooms have a much greater view than other guesthouses. However, also because of locating at high floor, strong wind and low temperature maybe encountered during winter.Therefore, not only the heater at the ceiling and guidance how to turn on the heater. We also have floor heating in order to make the room warmer when the temperature is lower than zero degree. Sorry for any inconvenience caused during your accommodation here.We look forward seeing you again in the future so that we would have the opportunity to serve you better.Thank you.
